Laurie Anderson’s next manuscript to be locked away for 88 years in Future Library

A Grammy-winning American artist has become the latest contributor to The Future Library, an Oslo-based project where written works remain hidden for nearly a century. Her manuscript will stay sealed until 2114, joining others from acclaimed authors like Margaret Atwood and Ocean Vuong.
